Mr Moondance (3/1), Musical Ava (7/2), Greenandwhitearmy (4/1), Tagg's Island (9/2), Charlotte Wells (14/1), Spring Well (14/1), Comehere Hi (16/1), Solar Heat (16/1), Sparta Maestro (16/1), Allora Yeats (20/1)

Hard to be confident about any of these but with his yard in fine form MR MOONDANCE is suggested in the hope the step up in trip might bring out the best in him. He's run with credit here in the past. Musical Ava has run well here of late and is respected along with Tagg's Island and Greenandwhitearmy, while any money for handicap debutant Spring Well would be worth noting.
